The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio is in for it as Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has asked him to publish the names of lawmakers taking contracts from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) within 48 hours or risks the full wrath of the House.
The Speaker said; “I am giving the Minister 24-48 hours, to publish the names, the contracts, the companies, date, amount and the projects. I am directing the clerk to do so.”
“Failing which, this house will bring the full wrath of the house on him. It is important that we set this record straight.”
“The Minister owes it to himself, to the committee, to people of Niger Delta, and the country to publish it. I will reserve my judgement. The minister came there to play games, but we do not play games here.”
For those who don’t know, Akpabio recently disclosed that; “Most of the contracts at NDDC are handled by members of the National Assembly.”
